Where hardware meets software

Profile & background

My background is in industrial mechatronics and process optimization — where systems have to work reliably, every single day. Today I combine that deep hardware and systems understanding with modern software architecture.

I don't just write code — I build bridges between physical networks (Raspberry Pi, PLC/TIA Portal) and scalable cloud and offline infrastructures. That's how solutions emerge that hold up in real-world operation.

I don't sell projects — I solve your problems.

Every engagement starts with your pain point, not my technology. Here are the most common ones — and how I solve them.

01

Consulting

The problem

You know AI and automation will transform your business — but not where to start.

My solution

An honest analysis, on equal footing: together we find the processes that are truly worth it — no buzzwords, no overselling.

  • Process & potential analysis
  • A concrete roadmap instead of hype
  • Tool & hardware recommendations
02

Custom company applications

The problem

Off-the-shelf software forces someone else's workflows on you — and costs licensing fees month after month.

My solution

Tailored web apps that map your workflow exactly — from quoting to workshop management.

  • Runs on phone, tablet and PC — even offline in the workshop
  • Your data belongs to you — fully
  • Grows with you: from a two-man shop to a second site
03

Hardware for local AI

The problem

Send sensitive data to someone else's cloud? For many industries, an absolute no-go.

My solution

I set up local AI servers on your premises — your data never leaves the building, and there is no transfer that would need justifying.

  • Offline LLMs (Ollama & co.)
  • Nothing is stored off-premises
  • From Raspberry Pi to GPU workstation
04

Setting up AI agents

The problem

Modern AI agents could speed up your team enormously — but which one fits, and how do you set it up safely? A jungle.

My solution

I work with AI agents every day and set up the right one for your team — for example one that pre-sorts emails or drafts quotes. Which tool sits behind it is my job — you get it securely configured, with hands-on onboarding.

  • Choosing the right agent
  • Secure setup & permissions
  • Hands-on onboarding for the team
  • For confidential data: local alternatives (Ollama & co.)

Overseeing larger projects

The problem

A large digital project needs someone who keeps a lasting grip on both the technology and the delivery.

My solution

I accompany larger initiatives continuously — from architecture through development to ongoing operation.

  • Technical project guidance
  • Architecture & code quality
  • Ongoing support

100% remote possible — with modern tools we solve everything from a distance.

Karlsruhe region: happy to come by in person — hardware installations happen on site at your place anyway.

Packages & price ranges

Three typical starting points — with a clear price range.

So you know what league we are playing in before you get in touch: these are the three situations businesses come to me with most often — with honest starting prices.

Workshop & trades

Paper job sheets, scraps of paper for time tracking — and two evenings of invoicing at the end of every month.

Your own operations app: job, time tracking, parts and invoice in one continuous flow. Offline-capable, so it works even with poor Wi-Fi in the workshop.

Do the math

Rented software costs around €120 a month for five seats — over €7,000 in five years, and none of it ever belongs to you.

from€6,500first production version: jobs, time, invoicing — no licence fees after that

A website for everyone

The website is years out of date, loads slowly — or there simply is none. And the site builder looks like a thousand others.

A fast website that belongs to you and gets found in your region: a solid Google foundation, quick loading, multilingual if you need it — no monthly builder subscription.

Do the math

A builder looks cheaper: about €20 a month. But add your evenings, a design like a thousand others — and after five years you still own nothing. This very page is the example: self-owned, loads in under a second, no cookie banner.

from€1,900incl. copy polish & handover

Office & admin

Typing data by hand from one system into the next, sorting receipts, writing the same emails over and over.

Automated workflows (n8n and friends) — and AI exactly where fixed rules stop being enough. Fully local on request.

Do the math

Three people × 45 minutes of routine work per day adds up to roughly 500 hours a year.

from€1,200first production automation

Local AI servers: setup on existing hardware from €2,500, GPU workstation including hardware from €6,000. Ongoing support with a fixed response time from €190 a month — optional, your software runs without it: you pay for on-call availability and further development, cancel any time, the software stays yours.

Every project is quoted individually. After the free initial consultation you receive a written fixed-price offer — with no recurring licence fees for software that is yours.

From the problem to a running solution

Real systems, real results. A closer look at three projects in detail — and more from practice.

DSGVO-Check für n8n
n8nAI AgentNode.jsGDPRZero-Data-Retention

DSGVO-Check für n8n

AI-powered GDPR & security scanner for n8n workflows

Problem

Manually auditing automations for GDPR compliance is slow, requires rare expert know-how — and mistakes can mean costly fines.

Solution

A "first-aid scanner": upload an n8n workflow as JSON, an AI agent checks structure, data minimization and security gaps and delivers a clear report — with zero data retention.

Cartech App

Workshop management with AI document capture

Problem

Workshops lose time on paper work orders, manual time tracking and error-prone billing.

Solution

A vehicle-centric PWA: photograph the registration document, the AI extracts all the data (OCR runs locally or via Google Gemini — depending on your privacy requirements), mechanic and office collaborate in real time — even offline. The invoice is generated automatically from the work order.

Rolloutstarting in the first workshop

From document capture to invoice — one seamless, digital flow. First workshop in rollout: CarTechFuture in Tokod.

CarTechFuture — Website

Website for a car repair shop — from first draft to handover

Problem

A well-running business with no digital calling card: new customers could barely find the workshop online, and every question about services or prices had to be answered on the phone.

Solution

A fast, mobile-optimised website with a clear list of services and prices, a dedicated section for company fleets and a direct call button — loaded in under a second.

One business, two systems: after the website, the Cartech App follows in the same shop.

Fast, cleanly executed work — every single request of mine was met.

Tria Finanz

B2B finance portal with automatic commission splitting

Problem

Three partners of an agency reconciled commissions and project budgets laboriously by hand — error-prone and opaque.

Solution

A collaborative portal that automatically splits every transaction by a configurable key, shows liquidity KPIs and calculates project budgets live. The split engine is safeguarded with test-driven development.

How we work together

Clear, transparent, from a distance

On site in the Karlsruhe region or fully remote — your choice. Four steps from idea to running solution.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    We clarify your goal and whether I'm the right partner. Free and non-binding, via video.

  2. 02

    Analysis & roadmap

    I analyze your processes and deliver a clear, prioritized plan — including effort estimates.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Development in short iterations. You see the progress at any time and give feedback.

  4. 04

    Operation & support

    Handover, training and — on request — ongoing support with a fixed response time.

Before the project starts you receive a written offer including contract and data-processing agreement (DPA/AVV) — with an NDA on request.

Straight answers to what you actually want to know

Common questions

Every project is documented from day one so another developer can take over: source code, architecture docs and all admin access live with you. You are never dependent on me — that is part of my quality promise.

You do. Entirely. At project close you receive the full source code, documentation and every credential. No vendor lock-in, no hidden dependencies.

Preferably in Germany or the EU (German hosting, EU regions for cloud databases). Local AI systems run entirely on your premises — that is what they are built for.

On request we sign a support agreement with a fixed response time. Small changes, updates and monitoring — plannable and in writing.

Yes. Migrating existing data (Excel, legacy software, databases) is part of the project — your history is not lost.

In the Karlsruhe region: gladly. Hardware installations happen at your site anyway. Everything else we solve efficiently remotely — your choice.

So you know the ballpark: a website starts at around €1,900, a first production automation at around €1,200, your own operations app at around €6,500. A local AI server ranges from about €2,500 (setup on existing hardware) to about €6,000 (GPU workstation including hardware). Every project is quoted individually — after the free initial consultation you receive a written fixed-price offer, with no recurring licence fees for software that is yours.
